PEX Radiant Systems hy-PE-RTube™ Radiant Tubing Five Layer PE-RT Tube with Oxygen Barrier The next generation of radiant floor heat pipe Made in the U.S.A.
Zurn PEX® Radiant Systems Zurn PEX in collaboration with DOW is proud to offer hy-PE-RTube™, made in the USA using DOWLEX 2344™ Polyethylene Resin, which offers the traditional benefits of polyethylene resin along with excellent high temperature resistance. DOWLEX 2344 Polyethylene Resin delivers long-term hydrostatic design strength at elevated temperatures, without the need for cross linking. This process increases the tubing flexibility, resulting in potential installation benefits and labor savings.
Zurn PEX® Radiant Systems ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION: Zurn Pex hy-PE-RTube™ Radiant Barrier tube is produced from Dow’s Dowlex 2344 PE-RT material. It may be used in residential and commercial hydronic heating and cooling projects that are within its pressure/temperature limitations. It has an oxygen barrier layer in the middle of the wall of the tube to reduce the oxygen permeation of the tube to less than the maximum specified in DIN4726: 200 PSI @ 73°F, 100 PSI @ 180°F.
Zurn PEX® Radiant Systems Main Characteristics: DOWLEX™ 2344 Polyethylene Resin is an ethylene-octene copolymer, produced in the proprietary solution process of The Dow Chemical Company. It has a unique molecular structure with a controlled side chain distribution, which provides excellent stress crack resistance properties combined with very good long term hydrostatic strength.
